Patchwork and lace

Sunday, 28 June 2015

Hello lovely bloggy friends it really has been a while , my little blog has been very neglected of late and so much happens that its hard to remember it all to tell you but i hope to find you all fine and dandy

Our big news at the moment is that we are moving yet again , we have got the keys to our new home which i am very excited about,our home at present is very cosy but small and we have definately all outgrown it so we have gone for a lovely spacious 4 bed terraced just around the corner , my love of terraced houses stems from visiting my gran with my family in leeds every sunday when we were growing up , we would always (whatever the weather ) have a walk around roundhay park then back to my grans for tea ,it was a lovely terraced house with an open fire in the kitchen ,a coal seller and an attic , i did love that house and have very happy memories of it ,so this new house is ideal ,we will all have plenty of space and i will have room to do my work so the next couple of weeks will be spent decorating it all

I really cant wait to have my own space again for my work , up till now i have fitted it in somehow wherever i could which hasn't always been ideal and i have often felt " in the way ", my new bedroom is quite large so this is where my new work space will be which i am very happy about , my gorgeous collection of fabrics will all have a new display home ,my fabric collection has certainly grown since i set out on my working for myself journey ,in fact its now become quite an obsession , i just love fabric and have to buy it if i see something i like ,here are just a few of my favourites, i make a lot of things using cath kidston fabrics which i do like although i much prefer her old prints to the newer ones , but my real love is vintage fabrics , these to me are the best by far and i seriously intent to make myself a patchwork bedspread for my new bedroom as well as many other things

I visited the wonderful Festival of vintage in April ,this really is worth a visit , it's my third year of visiting and this year did not dissapoint

I came home with some lovely treasures again this year

We have a lovely vintage tearooms in our next town which i took my daughters to recently ,it really is a favourite of mine , the tea rooms is called Dulcie Butterfly in Boston Spa if you ever fancy a trip and everything is for sale so i always come away with something

My other exciting news is i have set up a new website , i sell my things on ebay mostly and etsy but i really wanted to have something that was mine so i have been working hard on that lately adding lots of ready made lines and also scrummy things to have made, here are just a few
